Hi!
I'm using ResEd to visually create a preferences page for a plugin.
ResEd created a file res.rc with the following:

CODE

#define IDD_DLG1 1000
#define IDC_CHK1 1001
IDD_DLG1 DIALOGEX 6,6,194,102
LANGUAGE 8,1
CAPTION "IDD_DLG"
FONT 8,"MS Sans Serif",0,0
STYLE 0x40000000
BEGIN
CONTROL "Show number of total items ",IDC_CHK1,"Button",0x50010003,8,9,104,9
END

I added this file to the "Resources Files" folder of my project, but when I try to compile it, it reports an error in the uCreateDialog statement that IDD_DLG1 is an undeclared identifier.

Is there anything else I must do?

Include the header file with the resource IDs in your source code before using those IDs.

Of course...

Thanks!

EDIT:
Now I get some errors from the linker:

CODE

foobar2000_sdk.lib(utf8api.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__CreateDialogParamW@20
foobar2000_sdk.lib(utf8api.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__DialogBoxParamW@20

Any ideas?

Have you installed the Platform SDK? Note, if you haven't performed all the steps on this page (especially step 4), you have NOT installed the SDK.

Thanks for the link. It turns out that I needed to go to the project properties -> linker -> input and add the additional dependencies of step 4.
